DD going with dad for X-mas

Just doesn't feel like christmas. DD and I did our Christmas all day today. I cried when she gave me her 2 presents she made at school. They are beautiful.

She leaves tomorrow for a week. I know I know that is what divorce is but I hate being away from DD.

I know it could be worse and some parents have to be without their child for longer. Hopefully the week will go by fast.

Merry Christmas to all anyways.....

I know this will be difficult to do...... but look into your future..... I know that my kids enjoy their time with their dad.... and that they do have time with me.... so now, I'm really able to look forward to having time for myself when they are gone.

I know how you feel...my daughter (who is 2) was with me until 2pm Christmas Day when her dad came to get her. While they were in the process of leaving, I started crying and my daughter said "Mommy sad" and it broke my heart. I know I shouldn't cry in front of her but it was impossible. And then I spent the rest of the day curled up in a ball on my parents couch crying. I miss her so much- get her back tomorrow, but this is killing me.

For everyone's input for my missing my DD. I am almost 1/2 there right?

I miss her so much.

I find myself talking to my cat and asking "Where is DD?!"

Cat goes crazy....or maybe I already have.

I want my DD to have a relationship with her father. It is so hard for her because daddy has another kid and DD will say "My dad is probably with the other kid today huh?"

I just tell her "He might be but you will see him soon."

Hate this son of a gun......but I already told my DD that I wouldn't call her because "I will miss you everyday and I want you to have fun and I don't want to bother you if you are having fun. But if you call me and I am not home I will call you back ASAP." DD said "Ok mom that will be great."

Must be having a ball because she hasn't called but she normally doesn't she calls my parents.

I just pray that he is spending time with her because he normally "ditches her."

I am working alot to make up for the child support I am NOT getting......and this too shall pass.
